I'm Not Stupid

Fuck off! Do you think that im stupid?
Dont treat me as if i am daft!
Build for me a ship made of steel...
Not a worthless balsa wood raft.

Many oceans I need to cross
Many seas I simply must travel
I want to see so many things
I have so much still to unravel

My eyes have seen just a smidgen
My nose has smelt not near enough smells
My ears have heard only chaos
And my brain? It constantly yells

So build me a boat made of iron
No make it from stainless steel
I need it to last the rest of my life
Build it new from its bow to its keel

Then I will sail away from here
I dont have a destination in mind
I simply want to feel free for once
And enjoy all the new things I find.
